HP 2000C - Manual (Page 25)

NOTE:
Two-way communication
between your printer and your
computer lets your printer
send status, attention, and
error information to your
computer. When two-way
communication is not working,
you can still check the ink
levels of the ink cartridges
using the HP 2000C Toolbox.

Monitoring and Replacing Ink Cartridges
Monitoring Ink Cartridges
Ink cartridges for the HP 2000C require no
maintenance or cleaning. As long as each ink cartridge
is inserted properly in its slot, the ink will flow correctly
to the printheads. Because the printheads control the
amount of ink transferred to the page, you will continue
to see high-quality printing results, even when the ink
levels are getting low.
The printer software will notify you when an ink cartridge’s
ink level is low. You can also check the ink levels of all
the ink cartridges to determine if an ink cartridge needs
to be replaced. If an ink cartridge is empty, the printer will
stop printing.
To check ink cartridge ink levels
1 Make sure the printer and the computer are on. (Always
turn the printer on first).
2 Open the HP 2000C Toolbox. For details, see “Using
the HP 2000C Toolbox” in the “Using Your Printer
Driver Software” section of this User’s Guide.
3 If two-way communication is working, the Status tab will
display the current ink levels.
If two-way communication is not working, click the
